Online Welding Inspection: Enhancing Quality Control

In modern manufacturing and fabrication, ensuring the quality and integrity of welded joints is essential for safety, performance, and compliance. Traditional inspection techniques—while useful—can be time-consuming, subjective, or limited in resolution. Enter the profilometer: a high-precision, non-contact measurement tool revolutionizing welding inspection across industries.

AGC - Automatic Gauge Control

Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) is a system used primarily in rolling mills (especially in the production of metal sheets like steel or aluminum) to automatically control the thickness (gauge) of the material being rolled.

To ensure the final product (metal sheet or strip) maintains a consistent and precise thickness, despite variations in input material, roll pressure, temperature, and other process variables. AGC uses a feedback control loop that continuously measures the thickness of the sheet (using sensors like X-ray or laser gauges) and adjusts the roll gap or rolling force to correct any deviation from the target thickness.

Surface Inspection on flat metals

In the competitive landscape of metal production, ensuring the highest quality of materials is not just a goal—it's a necessity. One of the critical aspects of maintaining quality is surface inspection, a process that involves detecting, classifying, and analyzing surface defects on metal products. Whether it's steel, aluminum, or other alloys, surface inspection plays a crucial role in delivering defect-free products to the end-user while optimizing production processes.

Pipes and Hollow Profiles inline control

Nowadays pipe manufacturing, where precision, quality, and consistency are paramount, visual control plays a crucial role in streamlining operations, reducing waste, and improving product reliability. Rooted in lean manufacturing principles, visual control provides real-time, visual indicators that allow operators and supervisors to immediately assess production status, identify abnormalities, and take prompt corrective action. Our solutions offer increased control options throughout the production chain, making them independent of operator intervention and discretion, effectively standardizing the resulting decision-making process.

 

Multi-Point Thickness Measurement Across The Width

Measurement of metal thickness is a fundamental step in numerous industrial processes, from production to maintenance to quality control. Accurately knowing a metal's thickness is crucial to ensuring mechanical strength, regulatory compliance, and structural safety.There are several methods for measuring metal thickness, which vary depending on the type of metal, the geometry of the part, and the application context.
